The 90s introduced us to some of the best movies of the era, but there were also some horrible movies released during that time, which were so bad you’ll watch them once and never forget about them. So, in this article, we revisit the 10 worst movies of the 90s, along with (if available) where you can rent them!
10. Bio-Dome (1996)
Bud and Doyle are two dumb friends who find themselves accidentally trapped in Bio-Dome, a science experiment.
It’s a large dome which is an ecological area created to trap five scientists inside for a year.

Bio-Dome is the start-off in the 10 worst movies of the 90s, due to its lame characters and bad humour.

8. Showgirls (1995)
Nomi Malone aspires to enter the showbiz and hitchhikes to Las Vegas to pursue her dreams.
However, the reality is harsh as Nomi starts working as a stripper to make ends meet, and the people around her only make it worse, ridiculing her for doing a job close to “prostitution”.

7. Barb Wire (1996)
The plot takes place in 2017 when there’s an American Civil War going on, and the main character is Barb Wire who works as a mercenary.

Barb Wire is one of the worst movies of the 90s because it’s more like a rip-off copy of Casablanca, made worse with boring characters and awful action scenes.
